Front Row on G5 tower?

Question

Front Row on G5 tower?

Is it possible Apple could design a plug in system that brings the new Front Row features of the latest iMac to existing G5 tower users?

Well sure it's possible, but whether they will or not would be pure speculation.

Plus, you'd need an Infrared port in the computer for the remote.

You should post feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and request that they bundle the Front Row monitor with an infrared sensor for this. Or they could combine the IR sensor with an iSight or even both of those with a monitor (all built in of course).

Thanks for the link, I have posted a text on the feedback.

I guess they could produce a remote control that might use Bluetooth instead of Infra-red, as many people will already have a Bluetooth card or Bluetooth usb adaptor.

Front Row is da Bomb, i just got a iMac G5 for a holiday present for someone and have been loading it up.

I wish i had something like this for a PowerMac G5 and 30"

Sure i can hack it, but have to use the wireless keyboard.

Rather use the remote. The ATI Remote Wonder isn't nearly as fun as Front Row.
